Living to Write as much as Writing to Live

G'day and welcome....

Cutting to the chase, below is a summary of what's in store for you at this site:

A unique smartphone app called Novel Words®. If you study and/or enjoy reading English literary fiction, this app will help you to have a more informative reading experience; and perhaps also, a more relaxed and entertaining one; (Read more....);

Sample a section of my recently published non-fiction narrative (aka memoir) about my real-life experiences as a Cadet Patrol Officer, in Papua-New Guinea, in the early 1960s;

A page all about me - where you'll find a biographical sketch, proof of my professional and academic qualifications, and where you can also find early photos and so on;

For a change, browse through some pieces of short fiction - all free to read - none of which have ever been published (be aware: some with explicit coarse language and sexual references);

With extremism global and in the daily news, you can read a thriller I wrote (and published) way back, called Loose Cannon, under a pseudonym, Cyrus H. Milton. The story follows an FBI agent who, while searching for his missing wife, stumbles upon an imminent nuclear attack by extremists. Free to read now, here.

Still a work in progress here, of course; like many websites, I guess. So ... if you want to provide feedback about this site, use my Twitter ID (below) if you like; or simply contact me here.

Here's the novel app about challenging words used in literary fiction:

Well ... let me take you there with my non-fiction narrative (aka memoir) about the last years of Australia's colonial life in the 1960s. And where I was a Cadet Patrol Officer from 1961 to 1964.

Everybody has an opinion!

Over many years, I've written on a large variety of topics, all of which are here for you to read.

You can browse through the titles here, including one describing in detail how I cured arthritis in my hands. And how, amazingly and inadvertently, the end of a rainbow found me and my wife. I kid you not!
